May I suggest another old traditional Russian latke recipe?
Take 3 cups of cooked kasha. Add 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 eggs and mix all in a bowl forming a thick consistency. Add more flour if too thin. Spoon mixture into hot oil and flatten into discs. Fry until lightly browned. These latkes have a surprisingly good flavor and will be a delicacy for kasha lovers. Try it !
